Get a surfer's farmer john (thin) and a neoprene hood, those would preserve your body temperature without inhibiting your swimming. One thing I learned the hard way, when I was a serious diver and got to a dive in Maine and found out that I had forgotten my hood, was the you lose a LOT of heat through your head. Even with a dry suit, my dive didn't last long.

Looks like I am buying a whole wet suit. Heating my pool cost 500 bux. Shit.

Took off work at 4 so I could get in a good one before it got dark.

80 laps. 400 UW punches. 2 hours of solid effort.

Feel good.

Macros: Having a bourbon. :teeth
 
I get left shoulder pain when I do a flat bench, especially on the barbell. Less so on the dumbbells, very little when I do inclines and none for shoulder presses.

Whats the issue? Any one got tips?

I had bicep tendonitis where the tendon connects to the shoulder. Somewhat painful while benching. Thanks to Covid shutting down my gym, the tendon healed on its own from 2 months of no bench press.

My gym opened up on Oct. 1 and I resumed the bench press - but slow and carefully with new technique and form and light weight to slowly build up strength.

I was curious to avoid reaggravating the bicep tendon I checked out Jeff’s video. Hope this helps:

I saw his other video on tilting the dumbbells towards you. Think I might try that. I hate to say this but I've been benching with bad form for several years now.

My form was good but now I’m trying to protect the shoulder. Also check out jim stoppani. He’s got 1-3 vids on bench. Here is one:

Edit:

Incline (same theory as flat bench)

Got my arms, shoulders and back in this afternoon.

I was thinking about swimming, but I think I need a day off from that.
Fell asleep last night without turning off the TV, charging my phone or brushing my teeth. OG was worn. :laughing
 
30 miles this morn.

Averaging five rides a week and making 120 miles each week.

On coffee, toast and bananas at 04:00. Can't sleep more than six hours anyway, might as well do my rides in the empty darkness while it's a little cool out.

macaronis.. nice :laughing

Slipped home to swim at lunch. Pool was fucking cold. My dear partner decided that 500 bux was too much. Brrr... Did 40 laps and 200 UW punches and said fuck this. I admit being a bit pissed off she did that without asking me.

Ordered a wet suit, hoodie thing and water socks this afternoon.
 
I have to say Whoop recovery score correlates pretty well with how I perform on a bike. Yesterday and today had score above 85%, and was able to do pretty epic rides this weekend.
 
Today is the first day the recovery score works for me. It recognized house painting as an activity lol

I guess your HR went up enough. Lol.
For me it doesn't recognize the low level stuff. Went for couple hour walk today in afternoon, nothing.
 
You should start and stop the listed activities so it can learn your patterns.

I do for cycling. The weekly long walk is more of a strall with GF that usually involves alcohol. :laughing Most of the time I just forget. Probably should be more diligent about it. I kind of figured if my HR high enough for it to detect activity it's good enough.
